| Upgrade advice: Conrad Johnson MF-2500a ? The PS Audio HCA-2 is a very good digital amp indeed. My only complaint is that it didn't have the weighty sound of a conventional non digital amp, maybe you have noticed this. Conrad Johnson offers excellent (tube-like) sounding amps & that i... | |
| McCormack pres/amps and Steve's mods Hi Steve, thanks for your response. | |
| Conrad Johnson's Sonographe SA-250 or the SA-400? Coffeey, I know less about the SA-400 than I do the SA-250. But what I do know is that they both offer a warm sound with good transparency & detail. These amps offer high end sound for less & I'm laughing all the way to the bank. Purchased... | |
| Are Rotel amps and preamps any good? Were all correct. Try running a thread on whats the best amp & you will get a 100 different answers. I'm out of here! | |
| Are Rotel amps and preamps any good? Phasecorrect you could be right on some Rotel gear but like any other Mfgr, all given models manufactured at different times are not always equal in sonic performance. You shouldn't condem the whole Rotel line over one system you heard. The type o... | |
| Conrad Johnson's Sonographe SA-250 or the SA-400? Coffeey, looks like you have the newer model! My SA-400 has the three prong plug as well. These differences probably should be addressed to Conrad Johnson for more accurate information. You can e-mail them as well. Enjoy! | |
| McCormack pres/amps and Steve's mods Steve McCormack, it is always excellent to hear from you! The mono blocks really do make alot of sense. I would think they would be the final solution to an great sounding system, as many audiophiles will agree. In regards to the vertical bi-ampin... | |
| Are Rotel amps and preamps any good? Cdc, a local stereo shop called Advanced Audio carried the Rotel line for a while. This means very little unless you understand that they normally carry the very best and the most expensive gear. Anyway I will repeat what someone said one time in ... | |
| ebay vs audiogon Jmcgrogan, any time you do business on the internet regardless of payment method there will be some risks, were all taking chances just by living. Again check your buyers feedback. When I am looking to purchase, I actively seek out sellers that of... | |
| Conrad Johnson's Sonographe SA-250 or the SA-400? Coffeey, you have the same older unit I had. If it has the two prong power cord that would confirm it. Your amp sounds spectacular but not too long ago Conrad Johnson offered a limited upgraded version that would have a captured three prong power ... | |
| ebay vs audiogon Well guys that is the whole idea behind an instant payment through paypal. I have never yet encountered a buyer that cancelled a credit card payment on me because I already know what I'm selling is right. Check your buyers feedback, then proceed. ... | |
| Are Rotel amps and preamps any good? I think it is well known that Rotel makes excellent sounding amps. To out do them your going to spend considerbly more and the improvements are in very small increments. If you want to bring these amps to a higher level you can invest in a better ... | |
| Conrad Johnson's Sonographe SA-250 or the SA-400? Coffeey, I am driving four large horn loaded speakers (300 lbs each) that have a combined total of eight 12" bass drivers. Although the SA-250 did a fine job driving these sensitive speakers, the SA-400 did it a little better. Your right both amps... | |
| What are the loopholes of sending COD to nonmemb. Cloudgif, very good point. I overlooked the fact that some money orders can be cancelled. However a Postal money order cannot be cancelled for 30 days & that is why some sellers insist on this type of money order. Once a Postal money order is ... | |
| ebay vs audiogon Not everyone reads the fine print when they sign up for paypal. It seems to be a common practice on A'gon to charge these fees in their ads & I'm sure most people thought this was OK. I for one don't want to go to jail for 20 years over paypal... |
